My Lollapalooza 2010 Schedule

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

I had to make a handful of tough decisions, but overall, I'm satisfied with who I'll be able to check out.

Day 1: The Big Pink/The New Pornographers > Cymbals Eat Guitars/Devo; Dirty Projectors > Matt & Kim; The Black Keys > Hot Chip/Jamie Lidell and for good measure The Strokes > Lady Gaga (I would imagine it (Lady Gaga) will be quite the spectacle)

Day 2: Wild Beasts/Stars > Blues Traveler (nostalgia); The xx > Dawes; The xx/Grizzly Bear > Gogol Bordello (I would image this is out of control); Edward Sharpe > Spoon (also missed a chance to see them in 2005); Phoenix > Green Day (nostalgia - I may catch the beginning)

Day 3: I am honestly completely content with my decisions for this day.

I've never been to a festival of this magnitude before and any suggestions from seasoned vets would be appreciated. I plan on sending live tweets/pics/videos via my Twitter account.

Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros

Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros perform in the pleasantly organic La Blogotheque environment. The ensemble's carefree nature continues to draw me to them. If I could go on an exotic expedition into the wild with any band, I would definitely choose these guys. I wonder if they need a maracist?

Numba Six

Thanks to Ryan Velgersdyk for being more artistic than me in three minutes than I will be in a lifetime - follow him on Twitter @velgies

My Cousin Makes Music

If you like female musicians, then you should turn out to my cousin's CD release party.

If you live anywhere near Farmington, Minnesota and don't have anything going on June 19, 2010, I can't imagine a better place to be. Bring a date. Bring your parents. Bring your date's parents.
